[ale] Cheap KVM switch

[Geoffrey]

My personal experiences with kvm have indicated you get what you pay 
for.  Then again, when I was using the 'mechanical' versions verses the 
electronic one I have now, I was using it a lot, so mileage may vary 
according to usage.  I went through three different mechanical kvm 
switches in about 2 years, verses the linksys device I have now, which 
has worked for the past 5.

Understand, during this time, I was working from home and doing a lot of 
switching.

Sorry that doesn't answer your question, but I figured it might help you 
decide. :(

As always, post your results to the list.
